ALEX ANDRIA,.
MONDAY EVENING, MARCH IA.

Mr.. PowDERLY once said he never allow
ed q glass bottle to leave his house except
by way of window. The hands in the
glass works at Pittsburg, have, as is only
natural, gone bow shot beyond Mr. Pow
DERBY, and have declared boycott upon ali
who use bottles that have been used before.
The object in both cases is to increase The
demand for new bottles, and consequently
for the labor that makes them. But in this,
as in most other similar instances, the de-
sired object, even if effected, would be at
the expense Of people who can i'll afford TO
bear it. The small extra cost OF new Dot
tie is nothing to rich man, but it is vastly
different to poor woman whose last cent
ia being spent in the purchase of medicine
che must carry home in that bottle for her
sick child

Terrible Accident.

BosToN, March IA heavily loaded
passenger train on the Boston and Proyi-
d-nce r. R. met with a terrible accident
about o'clock this morning between Ros-
lIndale and Forest Hill. Four cars are said
to have gone through the bridge and many
persons were killed. wrecking train left
for the scene of the accident, and advices re-
ceived later state that nineteen bodies have
already been taken from the ruins. II is
said that 90 persons were killed and 40 in
iured Among these are many women.
The conductor was among the killed. The
accident occurred on the Dedham branch OF
the Boston and Providence railroad, be-
tween Forest Hill aud Roslindale, at what
is known as Bussey Park bridge. The z
O'Clock train from Dedham, consisting OF
ssven cars and baggage car, broke
through the bridge. The engine and three
cars went over safely, but the FIVE others
fell through the bridge to the road beneath,
distance of 80 feet The last car, which
was the smoker, turned completely over and
struck on top of the others, all being crush
ed almost out of shape. The cause of the
accident is said to have been the breaking
of the bridge. The smoking car after it fell
caught on fire. but the fire department was
promptly on hand and prevented any spread
of the flames. The train was crowded with
working people, and the most intense ex-
element prevails among their friends, who
are anxious to learn the names Of those kill
ed and injured. There are no reliable de-
tails of the number Of the dead as yet. The
police say that % were killed outright and
that nearly as many will die. The bodies
of the killed were horribly mapgled, some
of their heads being entirely severed from
their bodies, and many of the bodies are
crushed beyond recognition.
The latest computation shows total of
% killed and so injured.

Double Murder.

SCRANTON, Pa, March 14-Last night at
10 o'clock an appalling tragedy was
committed near Dunmore, few miles from
this city. James Barrett lives near the
Spencer mines, together with his family
consisting of his wife and seven children
At the hour named George Murrell, an Ital.
ian. visited Barrett's house, and an alterca.
ton occurred concerning woman named
Collins, who was in the house at the time.
Before Murrel was elected he cut Barrett
with knife or razor Some other Italians
who lived in the neighborhood heard the
noise aud proceeded to Barretts house.
Just what followed is not known, but two
reports from q shot gun were heard, and
when the scene was reached by officers the
dead bodies of George and Jose Murrell
were found near the house with their heads
and necks perforated with buck-shot. A
third Italian named Motz received o mum
Der OF buck shot ia the abdomen, and his
recovery is not thought to be probable.
Barrett was arrested. He admits having
done the shooting, but says he acted in self
defence

Report DiscresIited.

LONDON, March 1.-THE report printed
by Tue Standard that an unsuccessful at
tempt to essassinate the Car of Russia had
been made is utterly discredted by NJ. de
Staal, the Russian ambassador. In an in
terview this morning the ambassador said
he had received no telegram in relation to
such an attempt, and this was sufficient ev-
ideuco to convince him that the report was
uufouuded. If it were true he would have
received dispatch long ago. The ambas-
sador said he was about to attend service
in the Russian chapel in commemoration of
the Cars accession to the throne, and it
was not likely that he would leave the en-
bassy if there was the least probability of
any news of that character being received.
The Standard, commenting on the reported
attempt on the Cars life, says: "Such an
event might be sufficient TO turn the scale
in the direction of war. FEon this point of
view the outrage is of the gravest possible
significance
